In the record
Royce’s schedule records 12 cessions that lie at least partly in Iowa, from 1830 to 1851, under 9 treaties, agreements and acts. The peoples named most often are Meskwaki (Fox), Sauk (Sac), Sioux (as named in treaty records), Sisseton, Wahpeton and 7 more.

Everything here is linked at state level only. The atlas does not look up addresses or parcels, and a cession touching a state does not tell you whose land a particular place is.
